The Afghan Taliban claimed killing three U.S. soldiers in a bombing in Ghazni and repelling a joint offensive by American and Afghan forces on their positions against the Islamic State's Khorasan Province (ISKP) in Nangarhar.

Using similar wording to its claim of credit for the Khost bombing in Afghanistan, the Islamic State's Khorasan Province (ISKP) issued a formal communique for the Orakzai market bombing on Shi'ites in Pakistan.

The Islamic State's Khorasan Province (ISKP) claimed credit for the suicide bombing near the headquarters of the Independent Election Commission headquarters in Kabul, hitting employees and security forces.

The Afghan Taliban again accused U.S. forces of supporting the Islamic State's Khorasan Province (ISKP) through airstrikes, this time charging that drone strikes on their positions in Nangarhar seek to halt their progress against the rival group.

The Afghan Taliban again boasted of rendering the Islamic State's (IS) Khorasan Province an "exemplary defeat" in northern Afghanistan and charged the U.S. with not only backing the IS there but in Iraq, as well.

The Afghan Taliban again accused American forces of "rescuing" Islamic State (IS) fighters from its clearing operations, and charged U.S. General John Nicholson with deliberately lying to the American people about the success of President Donald Trump's strategy in Afghanistan.

After previously claiming credit for the mortar strike on the Afghan Presidential Palace in Kabul during the Eid al-Adha speech delivered by President Ashraf Ghani, the Islamic State's (IS) Khorasan Province took responsibility for a two-man suicide raid in the capital.
